  Fish
     called _dag_ by the Hebrews, a word denoting great fecundity
     (Gen. 9:2; Num. 11:22; Jonah 2:1, 10). No fish is mentioned by
     name either in the Old or in the New Testament. Fish abounded in
     the Mediterranean and in the lakes of the Jordan, so that the
     Hebrews were no doubt acquainted with many species. Two of the
     villages on the shores of the Sea of Galilee derived their names
     from their fisheries, Bethsaida (the "house of fish") on the
     east and on the west. There is probably no other sheet of water
     in the world of equal dimensions that contains such a variety
     and profusion of fish. About thirty-seven different kinds have
     been found. Some of the fishes are of a European type, such as
     the roach, the barbel, and the blenny; others are markedly
     African and tropical, such as the eel-like silurus. There was a
     regular fish-market apparently in Jerusalem (2 Chr. 33:14; Neh.
     3:3; 12:39; Zeph. 1:10), as there was a fish-gate which was
     probably contiguous to it.
     
       Sidon is the oldest fishing establishment known in history.
